What’s the official must have paperwork to attend the home opener ?

I actually plan on having a paper ticket.  Ticketmaster gave me that option when I bought my opening day ticket & I took it because in 2019 I had a problem with the e-ticket at the gate.  Eventually it worked but I had to go to one of the ticket kiosks & it worked, but my 1st time at the gate nobody could figure out how to bring up my ticket.  

 

This is a general question that has nothing to do with this reply: To those who went to the playoff games, what did they do at the gate for you to prove your Covid negativity?  Did it take a while or were you able to go pretty fast?  

Apologies to the OP for this tangent, but it’s a sore spot. I’ll take a paper ticket every time if I can get it from a reliable source. (EDIT: I got a paper ticket from @Heitz 2-3 years ago, so that was semi-reliable! :))  I just clicked on the One Buffalo App on my phone and it opens for a half second, then closes. If I had to re-load it on a game day, I’d need my passwords which are home in a drawer.  

 

I had the Falcons App when the Bills played here a few years ago, but it took 3 separate “IT Specialists” at the stadium to make it work. The “experts” who do this for a living could not make it work! There was something in my location settings it didn’t like (and I wasn’t crazy about changing).

 

I freely admit I’m not an IT Wizard, but even the wizards couldn’t make it work. I know they do things for their reasons, but if they can’t make it more simple and reliable....I’ll take paper all day long!

 

Rant over, please carry on!   :)

I mean...you could probably just forge one.  Just like my brother and I used to do to buy cigs back in the day 🤷🏾‍♂️

 

It’s high tech now! My wife ordered some Patron Coffee Liqueur and she had to click a box saying she was over 21 to have it shipped to the house. I guess nobody ever lies on the internet? That must be it....    🤷‍♂️

I am very sorry to answer the original question with factual information and not joke or add commentary:  The Erie County Executive, Mark Poloncarz,has stated he has the power to set the policy for attendance at Highmark stadium as being Full Attendance=Fully vaccinated. The Governor of NY, Andrew Cuomo says only he has the power to set such a standard and that he has not made any decision on this yet. Therefore, there is no official policy yet.

 

My conjecture is that we are heading to a combination of fully vacinated for entry and proof of negative test for those unvacinated. This is what makes sense to me.

Shot card, party affiliations, fandom questionair filled out, breathalyzer test, urine test, stool sample, blue cheese or ranch affiliation, wings style preference card, passport, birth certificate, did you serve in the armed forces, and what branch..., I know I’m forgetting something..., oh, and did you purchase a Maybin Jersey..., 

 

 

Go Bills!!!

For what it's worth here the rules to attend Blue Jays game in Buffalo.

 

If you are vaccinated, a negative COVID-19 test can be presented at the entrance per the Governor's guidelines and will allow for normal stadium seating. Blue Jays spokesperson explained that the team plans to be flexible and will accept a birth certificate, school ID, even a passport. The ID, like a driver's license, will just need to match the name on your vaccination card or proof of a negative test.

 

 

Those who are unvaccinated and without a COVID-19 test will be seated in separate sections with will have a 33 percent capacity limit and will require six-foot distancing with masks.

I think it went this way because the answer is: there is no answer yet.

 

Most of us were aware of what you posted in the first paragraph, and your conjecture in the second also makes sense to me.

OK, I’ll take a shot at the top of the list;

 

1) Shot card? Bowling ball or navel? I’d have to know who’s navel first. Pics? 

2) Party affiliation?  I’d say Hammers Lot. 

3) Fandom Questionnaire? If you are there, you pass. 

4) Breathalyzer test? If you passed, you failed. 

5) Urine test? Hopefully not down your leg. 

6) Stool sample? @plenzmd1 will meet you in the upper bowl when the gates open. @Seasons1992 can vouch for him. 

7) Blue cheese or ranch?  @Royale with Cheese is in trouble on this one. He just might get voted off the island/tailgate.

8 )Wing style preference? @plenzmd1 “supervised wings” in the lot post-game. 

9) Birth Certificate? Some of us pre-date those. 

10) Armed forces? What branch? The LOWEST branch. You know this crowd!

11) What are you forgetting? How am I to know? I don’t remember why I started this!

12) And lastly........if you purchased a Maybin jersey I appreciate your fandom, but that’s just one reason I’m not a jersey guy. 

 

Get there early, this might take some time!

Ya know @Augie, my "supervision" is key to keeping the actual wing master on task! I am pretty sure when yiur lovely wife lines up for wings post game, she will get all she desires and more.

 

I am also pretty sure it is " no wings for you" when you pony up to the fryer!

You'd think they'd want to fill the stadium though to maximize profits.  My guess is you either need proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test.  Plus, it would be cool to have a packed house again.

Anyone have the details  ? 

Papers with Benjamin’s on them!  
 

wishing you luck  keep those terrible towels out of there!  

 

It is BLUE cross / Blue shield stadium so black & gold wearers  WILL need immunization records for COVID, influenza, tetanus, hepatitis , and a recent mini mental status exam or Montreal cognitive ( actually done in Montreal!) exam prior to admission as this is a risky environment for substance abuse ( home fans exempt related to known genetic tolerance) , depression, and post game PTSD!  ( just an FYI /psa Steelers fans, I am taking appointments now in Florida to begin the screening process, cash only as BC/BS  reimbursement rates are unacceptably low and slow! ). 😊😇
